with the game live on sky and the cheapest ticket going for £32 it will be interesting to see the attendance for our game.

regarding the game itself it is simply must win. anything less will hopefully result in vocal disapproval as it will pretty much confirm that we are a team devoid of bottle. with the other two facing reasonably straightforward away games we can not afford any more slips

none of Allardyce's forward options have really had an impact but that is largely down to the dogsh*t service from our hoof merchants. hopefully we will think about playing the ball to our strikers feet and on the floor beyond the backline rather than booting the ball into the corner like 7 year olds.

I paid this yesterday for a ticket to come to your dive in a fortnight's time! £32 for Championship football! I hope next season you'll be lowering the prices

its league policy for away fans to be charged the same amount as the cheapest available home adult ticket.

it's not just the ticket prices, its everything that comes with it. just going to the game and going straight home is almost an impossibility for me. it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to justify my attendance at games gievn the things i am saving up for. i'm not going to bother with tonight's game, for example.

We were always in the game against Leeds and looked comfortable and looked like we might create something and get a goal. Leeds is not an easy place and no away game is easy. You've got to earn the right to get the victory to earn the right to play.

In the second half we had more space and more opportunity to play but we didn't find the finish to get one goal in front. I thought we might have nicked the win when Gary O'Neil went down the right in the last minute with three men in the box but when you need that vital bit of quality we didn't produce it to get the goal and win.

We're having a little struggle with injuries again. James Tomkins had to come off with a trapped nerve in the calf, Julien Faubert was at home with Winston Reid, Guy Demel and Papa Bouba Diop. The earliest we can expect Ricardo Vaz Te back is against Burnley on Saturday.

We'll need some fresh legs over the next ten days so that was a disappointment. We coped with the change well and Gary O’Neil did a good job when he came on. Ravel got a good feel for what football was all about. He didn't get much of a touch but at least he's on the field.

Hopefully we can keep the unbeaten run going and start turning the draws into wins. We need to start doing better at home and we need the fans’ support. We all want the same thing so we need to pull in the same direction.

Come on you Irons!

Dear Lee,

It is a big game tonight against Middlesbrough at the Boleyn Ground and we are looking to go out there and get a winning result.

We achieved a strong point away at Leeds United on Saturday and we are going into our home game with confidence and looking to work as hard as we can to get the win your support deserves.

It is great that you can pay on the day for your tickets and it is also half-price for Academy members and Youth Academy members can attend the match for free.

Every game matters.

Hopefully as many of you as possible can join us for tonight’s game and together we can go against Middlesbrough to earn the bragging rights of a victory. We will certainly be putting all our efforts into trying to achieve that.

Poyet's Pinkies on a Tuesday night, the Football League certainly know how to sort the fixtures to suit the away fans, presumably our following will understandably be down on the norm and the 400/500 will have to be in fine voice to make their presence known.

This won't be an easy fixture and it will be interesting to see which Brighton team turns up, I'm looking for at least one point.

TBH I'm not sure if i'm glad the game is live on Sky or not - as you say anything less than 3pts is unexceptable but whether we get them i have little confidence on that .

What a shambles,its clearly not warnocks fault we have been much better since he came in its the pocksy defence we have in paul connolly tom lees darren o'dea and worst keeper ever to play for leeds lonregen...neil should drop them all for the trip to millwall...knabby how on earth was connolly the captain of therebee a few seasons back????

when that fat c*nt rocked up he made all sorts of promises that his brand of football was 'winning football' to hide the fact that it would also be mind numbingly dull. people bought into this and even allowed themselves to sacrifice their principles in order to achieve this alleged 'winning football'.

we've now gone five home games on the spin without a single victory. plainly that is unacceptable. out play is so static and lumbering that it is so obvious what our intentions are. 99% of everything we do is down the left hand side and our build up play is at a snails pace.

negativity in our play is killing us and that is a hallmark of the manager.

the negative points in our line up, our set up and our performances are plentiful and thats before i even start singling out individual players.
